Tibet
Chapter 1358: Choose to Surrender
Wu Shaodan hurriedly brought Zhang Fengjiao, who was dressed in black, to see Li Chenghua.
Li Chenghua didn't expect to discover the traces of the Saints' Association so quickly. She was overjoyed. Her only regret was that she couldn't kill the Saints' Association during the sacrifice.
Li Chenghua looked at Zhang Fengjiao again. She was about twenty years old, petite in stature, and her eyes had a vicissitude that was inconsistent with her age.
"How did you come up with the idea of becoming a bounty hunter?"
Zhang Fengjiao lowered her head and said, "The little girl has to earn money to support her family!"
"Who else is at home?" Li Chenghua asked again.
"And my daughter and elderly parents-in-law!"
"Where's your husband?"
"My husband was killed in the army."
Li Chenghua suddenly saw his younger self in her.
She nodded, "Take us to catch the person first, and then I will reward you heavily!"
Zhang Fengjiao bowed and said: "If you can perform meritorious service, I don't want any reward for you, I just ask you to join the inner guard!"
Li Chenghua nodded, "Go and catch the person first!"
The internal guards were immediately dispatched on a large scale, including 500 female internal guards and 2,000 elite internal guards.
Li Chenghua personally led 2,500 people to Xianyang. The team quickly arrived at Xianyang, the city gate was closed, and the inner guards took over the city defense.
Five hundred female internal guards surrounded the courtyard. The internal guards climbed up to the surrounding houses one after another to look down from above. Dozens of members of the Saint Sisters in the mansion were in chaos and hid in the inner courtyard.
An Jia waved his hand and said to everyone: "Don't panic, everyone, we have not broken any laws. I will negotiate with them!"
Anga climbed up to the roof and said loudly: "I am Anga, the silver saint of the Saints Association. I met your emperor once in Suiye. Please come and meet your leader!"
Li Chenghua also went up to the roof, and the two of them talked across a courtyard. Li Chenghua smiled and said: "I am Li Chenghua, the commander of the inner guard. I was the captain of Suiye County back then. Maybe we have met."
"It turns out that Li Dutong was Li County Lieutenant back then. I knew it. I was at Suiye Guangming Temple at that time. Li Dutong, we are legitimate missionaries and abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Our teachings do not violate ethics and morals and encourage people to do good. If the Tang Dynasty did not allow the Holy Sisters to preach, we could just leave, why would they send troops to arrest us? "
Li Chenghua said coldly: "Kong Shibai is one of yours, too! You saints will sell girls from the Tang Dynasty, how dare you say that you have not broken the law?"
Anjia shook his head, "We belong to the inner church of the Holy Women. There are no men in the inner church. Kongsberg is a member of the outer church. The outer church is a mixed bag of good and bad. They have indeed done a lot of adultery and illegal things. Those are their personal actions, and The Saints' Association has nothing to do with it. As for the sale of girls from the Tang Dynasty, the Saints' Association is indeed one of the buyers, but we are not involved in the sale."
Li Chenghua sneered and said: "Don't use sweet words. All the trafficked girls will be sent to the Saints' Association. You choose the ones with the best qualifications to keep. You will be left behind. You will be sold to the West and you dare to say that you are not guilty." ? I advise you to surrender and cooperate with the internal guards, maybe you can still save your life!"
An Jia's face turned pale and he said after a while: "If we surrender, will you promise not to kill us?"
Li Chenghua said coldly: "I really want to kill you all, but the emperor has an order to exchange you for the girls of the Tang Dynasty from the Holy Maiden Association. You surrender! If you resist, I have the right to kill you without mercy!"
Anga sighed, "Okay! Let's put down our weapons and surrender. For the sake of being women, please don't abuse my sisters."
Li Chenghua said calmly: "You will be guarded by the inner guard women's camp. As long as you don't cause trouble and won't abuse you, if you cooperate well, you will even be given house arrest. Once the two parties reach an agreement, you will exchange in Broken Leaf!"
Anga returned to the room and said to the men holding swords: "Stop resisting. No one will survive until the end. If we surrender, we will be released back to Samarkand!"
Lin Qu'er worried: "What if they go back on their word!"
"We have no choice. As long as we don't die, there will always be hope. What's more, they want to exchange us for the girls at Daguangming Temple."
Anga glanced at the other men again and said: "Put down the sword and follow me!"
Everyone put down their swords one after another. Lin Quer also put down his sword and followed An Jia outside. There were more than a dozen special cage carriages prepared outside. This kind of carriage looks exactly like a normal carriage on the outside, but when you sit inside, Only then did they realize that the four walls were covered with iron cages. When the women got on the carriage, Wu Shaodan stepped forward and said to An Jia: "We all want to talk to you, please come with me!"
Wu Shaodan took An Jia into another large carriage. Li Chenghua sat in the carriage. She waved her hand and said: "Please sit down!"
An Jia sat down and a little maid served them tea. Li Chenghua smiled lightly and said, "Sage An just said that she met our emperor once in Suiye. When did it happen?"
An Jia sighed and said: "I remember it was the spring of the eleventh year of Tianbao. The emperor was still the military envoy of Suiye. He lived in Suiye Inn. He had two treasures in his hand. One was the bright dagger of the Persian Zoroastrian Cult, and the other was One was the Caliphate gem, which was a sacred object. An Yili, the silver saint at the time, and I went to negotiate with him, hoping that he would return it to us. Later, we exchanged 10,000 taels of gold for his two gems at Xidayun Temple. A sacred object.”
After a pause, Anga smiled bitterly and said: "Later Jinshanling told me that the fake box of Caliphate Jewels and the real Caliphate Stone are still in the hands of your emperor."
Li Chenghua smiled slightly and said: "If you say so, I will know that there is a dazzling emerald on our queen's neck. It should be the Caliphate gem you mentioned."
"It must be, but it doesn't matter."
Li Chenghua nodded and said, "I came to you to tell you that you'd better gather all the members and send them away together. This is their only chance of survival. If they are caught in the future, they will definitely die. Think about it yourself. After you have thought it over, you can send someone to find them to surrender to the Inner Guard. I will treat them well."
Anga pondered for a moment and said, "Okay! I will send someone to gather them all. They are all in Xianyang County!"
Anga returned to the carriage and sent five men to various parts of the county to gather them to the compound.
At this time, Li Chenghua said to Zhang Fengjiao, "From now on, I approve you to join the Inner Guard, but I still have to give you the reward money. This is the rule. I will give you one thousand and two taels of silver!"
Zhang Fengjiao knelt down and saluted, "Thank you, General!"
Soon, eighty missionaries were brought to justice one after another. All 120 people in Chang'an were brought to justice. There were also eighty female missionaries in Luoyang, Chengdu, Jincheng and other places, and they all had to be brought to justice.
Wu Shaodan continued to lead his men to search the house, and the rest of the inner guards followed Li Chenghua to escort more than a dozen carts back to Chang'an.
Li Chenghua then hurried to the imperial study and asked to see the emperor.
Not long after, she was brought into the imperial study and bowed, "Your Majesty!"
Li Ye smiled slightly and said, "It seems that there is good news for me!"
"Your Majesty, Anjia and her men were all caught in one fell swoop!"
Li Chenghua then reported to Li Ye in detail what happened. Li Ye nodded and smiled, "I do remember what happened in Suiye that year. I did give them a box of fake caliph gems. Since this Anjia is an old friend, don't make things difficult for her. Put them under house arrest and let her gather all the other missionaries to Chang'an, and then repatriate them together. Then Then he asked her to send someone to Samarkand to deliver the letter. It would probably take a year to go back and forth. "
Li Chenghua bowed and said, "I obey your order!"
Li Ye pondered for a moment and said, "Her subordinates should all be girls who were sold back then!"
Li Chenghua nodded, "They should all be very young, around 20 years old."
Li Ye said again, "Talk to them and see if they are willing to get out of the Holy Maiden Society and stay in their homeland."
"I will talk to them!"
"Go!"
Li Chenghua bowed and left in a hurry.
Li Ye pondered for a long time without saying a word. The past events mentioned by Li Chenghua touched his heart. The scenes of the past came like a tide. That was his first woman.
Li Ye took out a slightly old wooden box from the box and opened it. Inside was a lapis lazuli bracelet. This was the token that Jin Shanling gave him back then. Many years have passed.
After a long while, Li Ye sighed, closed the box, and put it back into the deepest part of the box.
Let it be hidden in the farthest place in my heart along with the memories!
